Working in Darlington today from Harrogate but I?m a Leeds Lass. At lunchtime felt like a sweet treat-I can honestly say I have never had such a wonderful Raspberry Tart. It was absolutely amazing, the staff were absolutely lovely and when I go to Darlington again, it will be my go to. I would challenge anybody to say this is not one of the best Cake cafes EVER.

I have just visited this coffee shop and was treated so rudely! Told not to sit on a table near the door when I closed it because it was chilly!
If your face fits! So rude! Don?t bother

Mine and my mam's go to coffee shop. Always make sure to pop in when I'm in town for a coffee and a teacake. Great service, atmosphere, and food.

Hands down one of the best lattes we've had ??
Quite a few places in Darlington to choose from but when it comes to a decent independent coffee shop only around 2 tick the box. The ladies on shift were lovely and attentive. Coffee and cakes only to buy, but that's all we have with a coffee anyway, so I wasn't disappointed. We shared a Vanilla Slice which was huge and gorgeous! Dog friendly so a massive thanks for that!! My little guy stayed under the table the whole time and got lots of cuddles from everyone. Thank you ladies, we will be back.

It's disheartening to leave this review for Origins, a place with fantastic food and wonderful staff.However, my recent experience was marred by the presence of dogs on the seating, which made me uncomfortable due to both personal preference and allergies.Despite raising my concerns politely, I was told that asking customers to move their dogs might result in negative reviews.It's saddening and really frustrating that the comfort and safety of customers seem to take a backseat to accommodating pets.

Came on my own waiting for my mam and dad. My mam rang me to order she wanted a bacon sandwich a staff member said 'We don't sell sandwiches' another thing she said 'Are you sure you have to right place'What a cheek. A snobby woman. My dad had finished hid drink and all of us had finished eating our scone the same staff member who said' Have you got the right place' just cleared it without saying 'Have you finished?' she answered back 'In restaurants there clear them straight away' No there don't a few minutes later a older women guessing it was the owner gave my mam dagger eyes.

Finished our coffee within 30mins and cups were immediately cleared from table, we were asked if we wanted another coffee, we said no. We were made to feel very uncomfortable. They need staff training on being pleasant to customers. There are plenty of coffee shops in town.

Delightful little café only serving scones, cakes and coffee/tea so no fuss ordering. The cakes are all baked very well lovely and moist and very tasty. Well done ladies.

Lovely little cafe with elite shop. Only down side was that the toilet was through serving area and opened directly into the coffee making area. Not pleasant. Think it would be better with a small corridor first.
